The Ad,tniralty had previous information of the Aventurier's , intention to' endeavour to return, to France froM Bourbon.

The. la:ter report appears, however, not to have been corre &, for when LUCIEN left Italy, he went - clheelly to Sardinia, and placed himself under the prote&ion of the British Minis- ter,' Mr. HILL. It was stated that he had been forwarded, by that Gentleman to Gibraltar, but we believe the taa is, that he has been sent to Malta, until the determination of Government. shall, be, known upon the subje&. It is generally suypoied that LUCIEN has been induced to .take this step for the purpose of insuring his own personal safety, and that of his wife. It is perfeEtly well kno k,vn that LUCIEN' has uniformlYand steadily rejetaed all BuoArAitTE'S . offerg to become e Sovereign, or even to accept a title, and therefore his name does not appezrin the French Calendar as One of the Imperial family. BUONA PARTE, Who hill had most convinCing reasons to be satisfied of the superiority of LUCiEN'E genius, and his firmness in a' moment of danger, has been very anxious to draw him' into his system, and as he is too irritable to brook contradiction, it is probable that th: has thrown but some. threats,which LuCtiN, 15nowing his charader, didlnot think proper to de spise. BUONAPARTE was extreinely ,otleuded with LUCIEN for his ',Marriage w ith his present wife, a Madame Jaaberlon, the widow of an Exchange-, broker.. The marriage took pilce just before - .

"Eh bein," replied LuctErr, " elle est au moms ieune et joiie." This sneer, which was directed against JOSEPFIINE; 'who, was then high in favour, p. en raged BuotiAraitTE, that he.never saw Lucts: After wards. BUONAPAKTE has, however, repeatedly, since • LUCIEN'S residence at Rome, pressed him to be divorced from his Wife, in order that he might contract a marriage more suitab;e to the Imperial blood of the BUON,APARrES; but LUCIEN, Who is very much attached to her, : has steadily. re:- •fused to comply with this; request. It :s very likely • that an apprehension that the Tyrant would take more effedual means to remove he'r, may have had a great - influence upon LUCIEN'S mind, and as, Madame LUCIEN could not be With out fears of the same kind, it is . probable that het influence was exercised to induce her Husband to remove beyond the power of his Brother.—LuciEN . .• acquired immense wealth , while he was Ambassador in Spain, and it is generally understood, that.wh'en . he negoeiated the reace with Portugal, .he obtained from the, Portuguese.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MALTA, DATED 25TH - • AUGUST, 1810. • LUCIEN BUONAPAKTB and his family,' Madames B. sevedchildre` n,. and a retinue, altbgetlier upwards of 40 persons, were broug'tii her,o on the 23a inst . by Capt. 13AantE, of the Poinone . frigat, Who found on beard an American vessel, off, Cagliari, in Sardinia, a few days back, where they _,had been eight or nine days endeavouring to be allowed to laud, but which they were perempionly refused.-, It seems tkey embarked at Cviia Vecchia, in the Roman Scales, about three weeks ago.—He gives out, that as he bad refused to divorce his wife; be come King of Rome, and marry his daughter (about 15 years old, and now here with the rest of the Children) to FERDINAND VII. of Spain, he has been exiled from the Continent of Europe, and that 'he intended proceeding to America. General amp Waited on' him yesterday fore- noon, and informed him, that, as he wished to land, he should be provided with accommodations in Fort Ricasoli, where both himself and family would ,be treated with-every attention, but that of course he could not but be considered as a prisoner of war.— lie is, we learn, to remain "bete until direiiions from Government at Wale' shall be received about • him." Dispatches have been received,from Lord. WEL LINGToN, which contradi&. the report of the bathe. The dispatches were dated the e4th. His Lordship was then on the north of the Mondego, waiting for MASSENA, with his army in high health and spirits. His Lordship, we understand, writes with great confidence that the enemy will not be able to cow pc•i him to re-embark this seison. This morning we received some German Papers, but they are very barren of iniellizence. The Grand Signior has, with the usual cereniunies, placed hini self at the heat] of his troops, and his preSence has excited the atemebt enthusiasm. A Morning Paper , in general hostile to the pre sent Ministers, but particularly so upon the subjt of the Wald - wren Expedition; has this day renewed its attacks upon that subjec-A. Tuts attack - is foilnd ed upon an assertion most positively made, that the number of French Troops collected to oppose the invaders three weeks after their a'rrival in the Scheldt, dd not exceed 16,000 mete , and that of these the greater. part had never beard - a shot fired. -; We . believe that this statement of the EneMy's force is not quite correel ; but admitting it to be so, how is it to be reconciled with the charges made by the very same persons against Government for planning • an'Expedition, at once useless and impratlithble ? if t be true that the Enemy's force was so small, the chance of success on 'our part was so much greater, and Government must be justified for mak ing an attempt where the probability of success was . so great. But perhaps it may be said, that the ob jea in view was- not of sufficient importance to jus tify the risque. that was incurred. Let us see what the Paper in question•saya.,uperi - tins part of the subject. " Of all the military occurrences since the year m 6; the expedition to the Scheldt is precisely " lbw- which gave the greatest uneasiness to his (Buo 'NAPA liTeS) ‘..‘friends; and,inspired his enemies with " the greatest hopes. Notwithstanding the - greatest " exertions, and stripping' Paris and the coast of " every soldier that was there,-only eight provisions " dead-brigades, each consisting, of three battalions " el'anoiat'fi'Ve or six hundred men each, were c 01... ... • ." leCted on the 20th of August.

We intreat our ReadersAo recall to their recollec tion, the. langitagc.l,used., and the a'ss'ertions made by the opponents of Go‘;erntnent When the Waleheren Expedition was under discussion. The, pul , lic were told, that Ministers, in selecting the Scheldt ior . the scene of opetations; betrayed the most gross igno , rancei• - -that• BUOIWARTE was delighted when he found that the expedition was directed to that . . quarter,—that he could not avoid publicly express ing his exultation when he found that 'the Eng lish Governthent was so ill advised as .to attack . him in his strongest ' point, •and to " take the bull by the horns,"--in fine, that he 'was apprized of the object - of the Expedition , three months before it sailed, and was pre parird -accord ingly. It is impossible that the public can forget with• what confidence, with what vehemence, those assertions were made, and that every man who ven , tared 40 dipute theni was without hesitation pro nounced to be a corrupt pit tizan of Ministers; but yet we now have a confession from the very same quarter that " of all the Expeditions since 1'796; the Expedition to the Scheldt is precisely the one which .gave the great uneasiness 10 BUONAIARTE'S friends ;" and 'so far from the design. being im ' praCticable from the previou's 'preparations which BUONAPARTE .had made, we are assured that after the . arrival 'of the Expedition the Scheldt, the enemy could only . , collel sixteen thousand 'men, who' had never seen a shot fire:!.'' —Here then we have a tardy' but ample re traelion of the greater part of the accusations Which were 'preferred against his Majesty!s% sters upon t his subjeB; for those who were once the most violent opponents of the Expedition, now con- . fess that the object for which it .was undertaken . was most important, and the probability, of success so ,great, as.fidly to justify the attempt.
